It's A...

Ok. We have no idea. We won't know the sex of our sweet already amazing baby #2 for another six weeks.

BUT WE HEARD THE HEARTBEAT!

Oh, friends. A heartbeat. A steady swish, swishing of a new life. A whole new life. A life already to be preceded by a lovely sister. A life I don't know yet. A life we are just embarking on together as a family.

Big Sister ran into the doctor's office today, ecstatic. She's very familiar with the staff there as they have been her pediatricians since she was six months old. She ran in and told the receptionist, Sarah, "Baby heart in der!" and pointed to my tummy.

Oh, Big Sister. You already pave the way for so much excitement, so much fun, so much together.

But can I tell you a little secret? It was one very, very fast heartbeat. The three little digits rang 160. Can you say a girl?! I'm thinking a girl... Sisters!

But wait with me for another six weeks and I promise I'll let you know for sure. We are tickled over here. And yes, when the swishing started, I melted. And teared. And thanked such a Good Lord who would bless us so. TWICE. TWICE. It must be said more than once.

Especially thankful also for my exam buddy and the baby papa who was smart enough to take pics. Dia is simply wonderful to have around and I was so glad to share today with her.

Enjoying this special time of Dia as an only child and the excitement that comes from watching a tummy grow with life. Thanking our God whom we serve and pray to daily for all our needs.
